$119 -- San Diego: Gaslamp Quarter Escape, incl. Weekends

"You'll be convinced you've stepped back in time when you walk through this 16 1/2-block area lined with Victorian commercial buildings," says Frommer's of San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, full of the city's most popular shopping, dining and nightlife.

Why we love it

Stay just four blocks away to experience historic flair at a downtown hotel that was once a stagecoach company building. The Sofia Hotel -- part of the National Trust's Historic Hotels of America -- is discounting nightly rates by more than 50% into summer, including weekends.

For $119 per night, two guests can relax in a room with a queen bed, or opt for room with a king bed for $125 nightly. Rooms with two double beds are $129 per night.

This Travelzoo-exclusive deal includes one free appetizer at the hotel's Currant Brasserie, which Frommer's states is "worth a visit."

The hotel is two blocks from a trolley stop that takes passengers to Little Italy, Old Town and PETCO Park. The San Diego Zoo is less than five miles away.
